A physiological state, characterized by decreased metabolism and inactivity, that permits survival during long periods of elevated temperature and diminished water supplies.
Estivation
This Biome has a temperate and tropical form and is famous for its large grass eating ungulates.
Grasslands
During this time period all life was in the oceans and was primarily made up of algae and branchiopods.
Cambrian
First earth consisted of
Crust and magma
In the Triassic period, the super continent formed by the four major continents; the break up of Pangaea affected the distribution and evolution of organisms.
Pangaea
The ability to withstand or survive a particular environmental condition.
Tolerance
This biomes has 4 major seasons and is famous for its trees that drop leaves and seeds.
This period is when we saw the first forests as well as the first carnivorous insects, lastly the land was dominated by early amphibians
Carboniferous
The first land masses scene were
Volcanos
A physiological state that permits survival during long periods of cold and diminished food, in which metabolism decreases, the heart and respiratory system slow down, and body temperature is maintained at a lower level than normal.
Hibernation
A specialist who studies extinct organisms through fossils.
Paleontologist
This Biome has an Artic and an Alpine type and is famous for its very low temperatures and permafrost.
Tundra
This time period was characterized with the emergence of small mammals.
Cenozoic
The first Ice age took place at this time
2450 MYA
The coniferous or boreal forest biome, characterized by much snow harsh winters, short summers and evergreen trees.
Taiga
The distinctive plant cover and the rest of the community of organisms associated with a particular plant cover.
Biomes
This biome is famous for it's high temperatures and low level of rain fall as well as its very specific small amount of life.
Desert
This is the time period where dinosaurs were king.
Plant life was first scene on land at this time
1000 MYA
Selection based on variation in secondary sexual characteristics, leading to the enhancement of individual reproductive fitness.
Sexual Selection
Marine invertebrates with dorsal and ventral shells and a pair of tentacled structures on either side of the mouth.
Branchiopods
This Biomes is famous for having the most genetic diversity and for its large amount of rain fall.
Tropical Rainforest
In this time period plants started to reach above the water, insects began to crawl and fly, and the oceans were filled with bony fish.
Devonian
The reason we know of this large land mass is because of the mass spread of similar species
Pangaea
The theory and study of the great plates in the earth's crust and their movements, which produce earthquakes, sea-floor spreading, continental drift, and mountain building.
Plate tectonics
